Worthy, discursive version from an amazing month.

Jerry just attacks this one (vocally too) right from the outset. I love summer '89.

Lively version, practically rollicking!

As focused and energetic as the rest of the show, Jerry plays with the phrasing of his solos without missing a beat.

Winterland Arena

Another noteworthy '77 version. Listen for Jerry's melodic lines over Bob and Donna's vocal coda.

Some *funky* playing by Keith before the Stephen jam, too.

SMOKING! What was this doing with just one vote when I got here?

I heard MLB for a few seconds right before the pivot to Nobody’s Fault. It’s there.

This is an exquisite Peter from a great year for that song.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Knickerbocker Arena

My only complaint? The Fire, although hardly slight at 12 minutes, sounds like it could have gone on for a few more. The inspiration is seemingly right there.
